With the raptors 905 team in mississauga why not have an echl team there as well. Its not like MLSE cant afford it. Saw this on twitter and agreed.
Thats great news, im assuming the Leafs will utilize that option once available.There is an ECHL team in Brampton.
And no I don't blame anyone who didn't know that. I myself only found out when I started working in Brampton and passed the arena every day.
The Brampton Beast they are called, play at the old home of the Battalion, on Kennedy St, just north of the 407
Mississauga has jobs, office buildings, houses, condos, a major shopping mall, a few minor shopping malls and a bunch of plazas. That just about sums up Mississauga. Mississauga is boring, like any other suburb. The whole point of Mississauga is to breed, work and raise a family. Mississauga's "downtown" has a big shopping mall, a movie theatre, major chain restaurants/bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, Playdium, a library, Living Arts Centre and a bunch of condominums. That's pretty much it. And if you don't live in a City Centre condo, you're going to need a car and drive everywhere. And you venture too far away from City Centre, you're going to need a car regardless. Now compare that to Toronto's downtown where a lot of places are within walking distance. Or you can just take the streetcar/bus or bike. If you live in the 416 suburbs like Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, etc. you'll need a car and those areas are boring as well. So I'm not singling out Mississauga or the 905 in general.It's true that for whatever reason, Mississauga can't support a team. Probably cause we're so close to Toronto. We lost the OHL Ice Dogs and now the Majors aren't doing so hot

I don't think the local culture here in Mississauga jives well with CHL hockey. Very few people in Mississauga care about the CHL. Very few people will care about the Raptors 905 as well.

I don't think the local culture here in Mississauga jives well with CHL hockey. Very few people in Mississauga care about the CHL. Very few people will care about the Raptors 905 as well. People here would rather watch the Leafs and Raptors on TV than drive 10 mins or so to the Hershey's Centre to watch a CHL game. And the Majors are not even very good no? When was the last time you've heard of a hot CHL prospect coming out of Mississauga?

What would be the advantage?
Players demoted to the ECHL are ones not good enough for the AHL and there is seldom other than an extreme emergency recall situation where you would recall an ECHLer to play on your NHL team as a fill-in.
Your ECHL team could essentially be located in Europe for all it mattered.

Because the Leafs want to use it as a developmental tool? that's why.
they want to change what they use the ECHL for.

Wait, are you telling me the Square One is 'downtown Mississauga'? Lol, not that I don't believe you, I've just only ever seen it from the GO Station.
